My husband suddenly passed on to heaven a couple of weeks ago. Although he was hospitalized it was traumatic for us all. Immediately after waking in the funeral home in McDonough, Ms. Kashia Webster approached us welcomed us and made us feel comfortable. I was actually going to the burial site but then I learned that there was currently a funeral home area ad that she was in charge of that department. She is very professional kind and patient. She listened our concerns and ideas.
I had a situation come up later I was emotionally and mentally panicking. Kashia reassured me that it will be ok. I left there that day believing that everything would be okay! She worked on my husband’s case until the final day. My family members and guests are extremely pleased they are still raving about the quality of Service for my husban. I would 😭💯⛪️ recommend your company!
Thank you

Southern Cremations and Funerals in McDonough did an amazing job with my mother in law's memorial service. Bob Fox made sure that every need was met and every question was answered. The atmosphere was comforting and even my husband was impressed. I would recommend Southern Cremations and Funerals in McDonough to anyone needing their services for a loved one.

We are so thankful for y’all assistance with our sweet lovely mother Erline Knowell. The staff you have there are fantastic. Everyone in the building were and still are professional respectful and kind. We really appreciated the team that work with our family and the owner was always checking on us. (That was sweet.) How y’all supported our sibling who lived in another state was impressive. It really put us at ease. I also appreciated how y’all invited our family to the candle light gathering for families to remember/celebrate their love ones. Thank you for all did and do.

My brother passed away last month after a valiant fight. Death brings up a lot of emotions, so it was great to work with a helpful staff. Stacy assisted us with understanding our options while offering compassion. Kisha was empathetic and awesome. She went above and beyond to provide excellent service while Scott gave us 5-star treatment the day of the funeral. Thanks all.

When you go through a time like this it means so much for a person to step in and go the extra mile like Shane done for us. One of the best funeral directors I have ever dealt with.

I absolutely loved making arrangements with Southern Cremations. They were very easy to work with and so compassionate. We lost our mother Friday Oct 29th and had an appt on the following Tuesday. My mom didn’t have any insurance or plans of passing so we were left to paying everything out of pocket. Cremation was our best and really only option. They completely understood that and worked with us to make it as easy as possible. I highly recommend visiting Southern Cremations to have your loved one at rest.

Hello Micah. My name is Daniele De Sane. We spoke briefly on October 20 after my father Emanuel De Sane passed away. We chose Southern cremation and funerals in Marietta and the following day after me contacting you, my Father was picked up from Northside Hospital and brought him back to your facility. I then came in on Thursday and met with Shane. I wanted to take the time to let you know how incredibly helpful, kind, compassionate and amazing he has been to me and my family. Shane has gone above and beyond to help me with the inscription engraving on the urn, the USMC medal, with the prayer cards and with helping set up funeral arrangements with the GA national cemetery. He even went over what exact arrangements can be used at his funeral service at Georgia national cemetery for the niche. He also assisted me with getting my mother to be laid to rest with my father in a niche at GA National cemetery as well. He even went as so far as to call over to my moms funeral home back in Florida to get a cremation services certificate to accomplish this. It Was my father’s wishes that we not very her remains in her urn until he passed. She passed away back in 2017 they did not issue cremation certificates, but he knew in order for them to be laid to rest together at GA national cemetery that it was needed. I did call the funeral home back in Florida, but Shane had already beat me to it and had gotten a copy of the cremation services certificate. He forwarded a copy to me and advise me that I would need this upon the funeral date at Georgia national cemetery. He mentioned that I would need to present it when I arrived on the burial day. Words cannot express the amount of gratitude I have to Shane for all of his help during this most difficult and unbelievably hard time. We always take time to complain, but never to compliment. I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am to him for all of the services rendered. I could’ve never gotten through this without him. Please thank him in value him as an employee. He is truly one in a million! Thank you!

Having my mom pass away was one of the hardest things I have ever endured. But having Shane DeLong as our family's director was a blessing. He made everything so easy & comforting. We think of him as part of our family now. Larry was very personable and informative. He also made our family comfortable. Besides the people who work at Southern Cremations & Funerals, the grounds are beautiful as well. Thank you all for making this hardship bearable.

We had an amazing experience at Southern Cremation and Funerals! Shane DeLong was absolutely outstanding taking care of all our needs after the passing of my father. The last thing I wanted to deal with was a long tedious process of finalizing his arrangements when I was mourning. Shane was so thoughtful and caring about my grief that he minimized the stress that comes after a loved one passes. He was easy to talk to and I truly appreciated his kindness and sympathy.

My dad passed peacefully in his sleep, after a battle with kidney failure and congestive heart failure, the two young ladies that came and took him from our home were the most polite and courteous women ever. I asked for his head and face not to be covered, and even with the stiffening of the body, completely understood and respected both me, and my father, in getting him out of our home. My husband and I made the drive to speak with the director Mr. Springer, and we made our wishes clear, he never “up-sold” me or did anything except carefully explain the process and the charges, we paid in full and felt confident in his funeral home. Later we would receive word from Mr. Springer, personally, to explain we had a family member that was making the cremation complicated, he was always nice and polite while not getting involved, this took MANY, many phone calls and he was so kind and careful in his manner and discussing how to move forward. It took 31 days, but we were constantly met with kindness and grace, and now my dad is safely back home and awaits his journey to spread his ashes, none of which would have happened with out the personal touch and many phone calls, of these genuinely humble and thoughtful people. Can’t star them enough, THANK YOU Mr. Springer and staff

Our family recently held a memorial for our dad at Cheatham. Due to travel, we needed to host on Sunday, when they are normally closed. The staff bent over backwards for us, especially our funeral director, Tyice. She kept us at ease and made sure all the arrangements were taken care of in an environment of great stress and uncertainty. On the day of, Scott Dixon stepped in and played the piano for a hymn without advanced notice!
The upper chapel is beautiful, and felt intimate. We served some food afterward for fellowship and that was a great way to see family and friends and remember stories about our dad. And the cremation gardens are beautiful as well!

She was very compassionate and very helpful with everything... she asked all the right questions, what we wanted, what my dad had wanted anything specific that we needed and she made it all work out. Everything was perfectly the way we wanted it to be. I absolutely will recommend to friends and family!

Cameron was very compassionate and really took very good care of our family. We even had our grand nephew there and she spent the time answering all of his questions. As well as being compasionate, Cameron was very professional. This was the first time that I had to deal with arrangements and Southern Cremations made it as painless as possible. It was the hardest time to go through losing my brother just a few days before going to meet them; my brother had not made any plans ahead of time yet she took the time to figure out what he would have loved as well as the family. Everyone we met there made me feel very comfortable and cared about. They explained all the items that we needed to take care of as well as providing a beautiful garden for us to have our service. Thanks Southern Cremations and Cameron for caring!! The Gallup Family

Dear Sirs:
I am the brother of Robert Knox Burns. I had the pleasure of interacting with several of your employees in the process of arranging for the cremation of my brother's remains after his death on 5/31/2021. The process of arranging for the cremation, dealing with two estranged children, the divorced second wife and with me was I am sure quite trying. Through it all I found your employees very patient and professional. I had the most dealings with Ashley and Tyice. I found Yvette to also be helpful and professional. I appreciate their help and the way in which your organization helped make a difficult situation smoother.

Recently upon visiting my parents' grave, I noticed the flower urn was missing. I called the office of Southern Cremation and spoke with one of the ladies and explained about the missing urn. She looked up the contract and ordered a new urn. I was able to deliver a dozen red roses on the Saturday before Mother's Day. Without the help of the office ladies I could not have done this. I want to thank everyone at Southern Cremation for going above and beyond the call of duty. Sincerely, Wayne (THE DUDE) Yanceyl

Cameron was an absolute delight to work with! She was very compassionate and gentle in all her doings. She ensured we understood the process and was very helpful in answering any of our questions. There was a moment of panic in our family and she was quick to resolve and attempt to alleviate our panic. In addition, she was able to be reached easily about anything. She took her time with our family, never allowing us to feel rushed nor an inconvenience. She regularly called us to check on us, checking on how we are handling everything. She went above and beyond to help ensure all military honors were given to Dad, even to the extent of finding an in-person bugle player outside of the military by our request. Southern Cremations & Funerals is the place to go when the time comes. The entire staff is friendly and goes above and beyond to assist you and ease what they can! Highly recommended!

I’d imagine this job is not easy. The people who helped us (Kesha and Stacy ) were not only amazingly kind, but sensed the mood and went with it. The fact that we were celebrating life not mourning death could have easily been trampled on of there was a very serious and inflexible position taken. But the level of expert assistance and light hearted demeanor just enhanced an already great experience.
That said, the only thing better would have been if you had a bar in the facility!
Come to think of it, why wouldn’t you have one?? Think of how many people would be able to deal with their sorrows with family while drinking a toast to their dearly departed. In my opinion, it’s a soul healer and a unique service for your industry.

When all of us showed up at the funeral home (all 5 step-children and mom) she didn't blink an eye and took the time to talk to us and answer all of our questions and made sure we got to see our stepfather one last time before cremation.

Southern Cremations & Funerals was absolutely wonderful to partner with for my uncle’s funeral. I called multiple locations and Southern Cremations & Funerals was not only the most friendly, but also the most price sensitive. They offered wonderful suggestions, an empathetic heart to our family member’s passing, and friendly service. Everyone we met from start to finish was fabulous! Sophie at the front desk was so sweet, kind, and friendly! Marcius and Sergio answered all my questions without hesitation. Johanna was overly helpful on the day of paperwork and processing, she was very patient with us the entire time. Ms. Terri was very kind to our family. The team at Southern Cremations & Funerals went OVER and BEYOND our expectations; they even anticipated our unexpressed needs. Thank you again for making this a smooth and easy process. I would highly recommend Southern Cremations & Funerals without hesitation."

On behalf of our family I would like to thank you and your staff at Southern Cremations and Funeral at Marietta from the bottom of my heart for helping us through this difficult time with such warmth, friendliness, humor, compassion and efficiency during this painful process. The family and I want to thank you again for the kind way you took care of us. You were so professional and yet so caring and thoughtful. May God continue to bless you in your work, because it is so important to so many families.
We especially would like to thank your Funeral Assistant Mr.Sergio Acevedo for all he did for our family. We would have been lost without you and Mrs. Flores. We were very pleased with the kindness that we received from everyone and the great job that was done to make all our requests accomplished in such a caring, professional manner. Mr. Acevedo is very good at what he do. Your heart is truly in it and you love your job. She looked beautiful and truly at peace. Thank you for the help with the music and many other things. Sergio, we will remember you and have a treasured place in our hearts. As it says in the Bible, “Job well done my good and faithful servant…..” We do appreciate everything you did to help us get through this sorrowful occasion. May God bless you and your family during this pandemic and hope your New Year will be great.
On another note you did my father's funeral 4 years ago and was so impressed with your service that I had to have my other family member receive your excellent service. I wish you much success in your future endeavors. I know you will continue to be a premier funeral service provider for years to come.
Thank you,

exceptional, considerate service to our veterinary practice clients and patients- and when we needed their support on the human side, they did not disappoint. The Southern Cremations & Funerals team's swift and meticulous handling after the incredibly sad passing of my mother-in-law helped us concentrate on grieving, and then handling family business and arrangements. It was a level of care that, even during our difficult time, was recognized and appreciated. We will be forever grateful.

When my mother passed unexpectedly our entire family was devastated. Southern Cremations & Funerals was suggested. We met with Brian Williams. Brian was professional, thorough, patient, accommodating, kind and compassionate. He addressed our questions and was able to meet our every need. I was especially impressed when Brian offered up prayer for our family in the garden surrounded by beautiful flowers. We couldn't have had a more exceptional guide. Thank you Brian for all your help. I highly recommend Southern Cremations & Funerals.

I just want to say that when my mom passed away last week it was devastating to our family. We weren't expecting it and had no idea who to reach out to, where to turn to or even how to begin the process of planning a homecoming service for our loved one. Southern Cremations and Funerals was suggested. (what a blessing) My family and I met with Brian Williams. We could not have had a better guide. He was Amazing!!!! He was thorough, patient, pleasant and displayed alot of empathy during such a dismal time. I just want to thank you Brian from the bottom of my heart for everything. You truly are meant to do what you are doing. And that is helping families in greiving moments one day at a time. Once again thank you.

My grandmother passed away a week ago suddenly. It is such a surreal experience when you’re not expecting it. Our experience was AMAZING here. Brian Williams was our guide through the entire process and as painful as this has been, my family couldn’t be more grateful! My grandmother had 7 girls and he was so patient with our indecisiveness, answered the same questions over and over again and gave helpful suggestions. If I could, I’d give 10 stars!

Our precious Mom passed away July 2020. My Sister and I were lost and never had thought about our Moms funeral. We called around to many homes and were not pleased with how cold so many were. We decided to hold the funeral home search and locate a place to bury our Mom. After researching we found East lawn cementary In McDonough and drove to view and speak with Robert. Upon arrival we were so taken with how beautiful the cemetery is. Absolutly beautiful. We knew at that moment Momma would be buried there. We met with Robert and he was incrediably helpful. Answered all our questions, walked us to find Moms final resting place and never did we ever feel rushed or pressured. We told him about our set back finding a funeral home and he directed us to call southern cremations. When we left the cemetery pleased we called the funeral home and set an appointment. We met with Sam and he also was very helpful, patient and kind. He walked us through all the info. Never pressured us. My Mom was picked up that day from St Joesph and handled with the upmost care and love. She had Covid and was treated no different. Everytime I had a new question or special request Sam and Robert and or other staff members took great care of us. Moms service was over an hour away. They handled it all for us Police escort, service cards, prayer cards, online obituary, and they always communicated with us, both Sam and Robert were there at her service and burial with respect making sure we were cared for as well. I have visited my Mom weekly since she passed and the cemetery is just so beautiful. My Mom would be very happy knowing how well she was taken care of. How well we were taken care of. I never thought I would praise a funeral home or cemetery business but if you are looking for the best care for your loved one you have found the right place. Thank you to Robert and Sam and Rashaad for helping, guiding and caring for our precious Momma.

When my husband died my family and I were overwhelmed, I had no idea about making arrangements. Thank God for Southern Cremation staff, they were so helpful and compassionate and walked me through all the things I needed to do. We did not have insurance so everything was out of pocket, called other places and their prices were double that of what was quoted to me and one service in particular was not even allowed at the higher price! Thank you guys for all your help!

On behalf of the siblings of Marelen Hines, I would like to take the time to say THANK YOU to Miss Kashia Webster on the OUTSTANDING SERVICE she gave to help the transition and Memorial Service of our Mother go so smoothly and comfortably. Kashia was extremely responsive, cordial, accommodating, patient, and helpful each step of the way. We have no regrets or complaints to make note of, just a very HUGE note of thanksgiving and appreciation.
The video tribute she created after simply providing her with the pictures and 2 songs was nothing short of AMAZING!! Friends and family near and out of town shared compliments, and we couldn't ask for a better 'farewell' memorial service - only great memories about our Mom, and very high gratitude for Southern Cremations and Funerals.
THANK YOU ALL so very much! We absolutely LOVED our Mom - Marelen Hines - and we will never forget the heartfelt service that was extended to us.

I am Asian America. When my friend (orphan) was pass away from covid, the hospital told me to get the body asap. I did not know what to do and panic. I called Southern Cremations & Funeral made a difficult time easier to deal with, they helped me so much and explained everything. Any questions I had was met with an immediate response from the staff. But Sam is the one who handled everything from start to finish (thank you so much). I can’t say enough good things about him compassionate, incredibly patient and kind, helpful, professional and always available. They have an amazing organization, nice place and clean. Thank you for making this so much easier for me. Last thing, they were substantially less expensive for the same product. I saved $$$$ (consider my payment was donation to take care my friend-orphan).
Once again, Thank you Sam and Southern Cremations & Funerals. Regards -

My father John Arnold Jr recently passed away on March 30th. On March 31st, my sisters and I, along with my stepmom and mother had to begin a process we’ve never done before....planning a funeral/homecoming for a loved one. As we gathered trying to figure out funeral homes, burials, etc. My mom remembered our neighbor Mr. William Jordan worked for a funeral home. We called Mr. William and he directed us to Ms. Kashia Webster.
From the first conversation with both Mr. William and Ms. Kashia, we knew where our father needed to be! Ms. Kashia was very kind, knowledgeable and most patient with us. My fathers body was in Athens, Ga and was picked up within a few hours of speaking with Ms. Kashia. What was so special was Mr. William rose along to receive my father. Being Mr. Williams neighbor for over 16 years, I trust him with my children so I felt a since of warmth and safety with him being with my father’s body.
I didn’t go to the meeting at the funeral home with my sisters, stepmom and mother but Ms. Kashia allowed me to be on speaker. She was absolutely great! Made my family that was present very comfortable. Throughout the week she spoke mainly with my middle sister Juerita Barriere and never once was my sister irritable or frustrated. She answered every question and sent whatever we needed. My family and I really appreciate the comfort, warmth and patience of your staff especially Ms. Kashia and Mr. William. They both were present and very attentive during the service which was held there as well! I want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU AND THANK YOU again. Your staff was beyond our expectations!
Just to add another note. Thank you for having exceptional prices. Most funeral homes are ridiculously over priced. Your funeral home met our needs with affordable prices and exceptional service!

My mom passed on March 27, 2020. Whilst hunting for a funeral home, I came across Southern Cremations and Funerals and met Dorsey who was assigned as the funeral director for my mom, Valrie Edwards, the best decision ever!!!!
From the get go, Dorsey was a kind and empathic person who made the entire process from the collection of her remains to her cremation a seamless one. He did an excellent job at the memorial service today also. We couldn’t be more pleased.
He was the consummate professional and if he was pretending, he did a damn good job of it. It was a beautiful service and he stayed the entire time to ensure it was incident free.
Prior to the service, I was bombarding him with emails because I was swamped and was just in a bad place. He answered each one quickly and even offered to talk if needed.
He was God sent and we couldn’t have been happier with his dedication, respect and empathy.
Please let him know how glowingly he was spoken of and how appreciative we are of him and his work ethics.

After the sudden passing of my husband, Walter Wilkins, I was devastated and at a loss as to the planning and required arrangements.
My brother brought me to Southern Cremations & Funerals where we met a wonderful gentleman, Kenny Miller.
Kenny was both kind & compassionate and very concerned with fulfilling our desires, and needs. He was patient, and understanding and went out of his way to help us in every area. He always made himself available to us, answered many questions and offered invaluable guidance to us.
The day of my husbands funeral, was a very sad day for me, but I found peace and great solace in everything coming together, exactly as we had desired. Kenny was with us until the very end, making sure my husband was remembered with dignity and honor and that every detail was properly addressed.
Kenny Miller is a fine Christian man and a true gentleman.
We feel so very fortunate to have had his guidance, support and expertise during this very difficult time in our lives.

My husband, Richard Lay, and I came to Cheatham Hill several years ago and made our final arrangements. Back then it was so pleasant to accomplish this in advance with you people.
Last week, Thursday, January 30, 2020 at 11:30 my younger sister had an appointment with Mr. Acevedo to make cremation plans for her very sick husband Daniel.
We cannot thank you enough for the care and professionalism given to us by Mr. Acevedo and others who spoke to us (I remember Sam and Robert and the sweet lady at the front desk). Rachel was so sad and nervous about the appointment; but, Sergio Acevedo put her at ease very quickly. He was great; so caring and professional. He did a great job of making Rachel feel so much better during a very sad time for her.
We have a large family. Most members live nearby. Two have asked me about Cheatham Hill Memorial Park pre-plans. I never miss an opportunity to tell them and anyone else about Cheatham Hill. I hope in the next few months to make an appointment for my Niece. I told Sergio I also want her appointment to be with him. Again, thank you so much!

I have had the opportunity to use the services of Southern Cremation on five occasions since 1999. Sam Russell was the Funeral Director who respectively, professionally, and with patience walked me through this last time. I have experienced more loss in the last few years than anyone should have to experience. All of the staff greeted me with kindness, knowledge, professionalism, and even a warm hug when needed. I never felt alone or had to guess the next step. I was given time to make choices/decisions without pressure. My wishes, concerns, and questions were addressed without delay. They made the transfer of my family member to her plot in Ohio very stress free and handled all of the details without any problems and efficiently. I would not hesitate to use the services of Southern Cremation again should the need arise. Several of the staff along with Mr. Russell contacted me after a couple of weeks to see how I was along with offering support groups. They make the effort to genuinely care about their clients, both deceased and living.

Southern Cremation and Funeral at Cheatham Hill is a company that genuinely cares about the families that they serve. The management staff was professional knowledgeable, supportive and empathetic. I worked with funeral director Bianca Migneault, and she made this a peaceful and stress-free experience. Bianca went above and beyond to ensure that we had a perfect memorial for my mother in law. I can’t count the numerous emails and phone calls that she made to ensure that every detail was in place. Bianca recommended their officiant Troy Hall to oversee our memorial service, and he was outstanding. Troy incorporated all of the personal information that I had given him into his sermon. I could not have asked for a better memorial. A special thanks to Johanna and the other staff for making this a memorable occasion.

I order flowers with them since I am out of state and they really put you first taking pictures of the site after placing the flowers there to make sure I was satisfied with how it looked, one time even after hours. The place is always peaceful when I get a chance to visit, just a great location for a memorial.

“Southern Cremation & Funeral Services did a wonderful job assisting us with the final care of our loved one. Special thanks to Mr. Duane for all of his hard work with the Service Arrangements. The Chapel and grounds are beautiful; the flowers we selected were lovely. Everything went as scheduled and we greatly appreciate the care that went into the entire process.”

“Exactly 7 months ago today I lost my mother. I'm not from Georgia but my mother was a resident in Georgia at the time of her death. This amongst other things made things really complex. From the moment I called Southern Cremations they were very comforting and reassuring. Once I finally arrived there it was so tranquil and beautiful. The staff was inviting and I had the pleasure of working with Funeral director Audrey Rivera she was very compassionate, kind, patient, understanding, and flexible. Myself and my brother will never forget Audrey and Southern Cremations & Funerals. You all worked within our budget and made a very difficult time so much easier. For this we thank you.”

“We had a Hindu Temple member pass unexpectedly. We called several funeral homes and found this one. Their price for cremation and use of the chapel was 75% lower than all the others. They could easily charge like the others with the wonderful facilities and staff they have. The facilities are beautiful, well maintained, and the staff more than accommodating. Being a Hindu funeral, we required access to other areas of the facilities to perform our rituals. They accommodated all of them. The staff was very respectful and supportive. The facilities can accommodate 50 people more or less. Parking is also limited to this small number of people. Maybe they have a larger room and additional parking which I didn't see. We didn't require it. But, this is what I saw during our use of the facilities. I highly recommend Southern Cremations. Especially to the Hindu community.”

“I first dealt with this company a year ago. A long time friend had died and his relatives found this company. They needed me to ID the body. I don't do death well!!!! They made me very comfortable. Today I had to make arrangements to bury my youngest son. He passed on is 21st birthday from Long QT (sudden death syndrome often found in young 20ish adults) My wife first wanted to go to a local firm. A chain firm. Cold, high priced, not welcoming. We then took the drive to Southern. I told them up front I only needed crematory service. I figured as this is a low end purchase I would get the bum’s rush. Instead, their Director, ****, rolled out the red carpet. Gave us so much valuable personal advice. It was like dealing with family. I love these guys!”

Not ready yet, but they were really the best place I could picture to handle the services for my daughter. The gratitude from my family and I are beyond what words could be. I want to thank the owner, Robert. He really took care of us. And Mr. Dorsey Thomas that led the service. Thank you. The outstanding support and love from Southern Cremations is appreciated by the Terry Family.
